Correlation between retinal ganglion cell loss and nerve crush force-impulse established with instrumented tweezers in mice.

Discussion: The instrumented tweezers enable a simple technique for measurement of ONC forces in real-time for the first time. Using the instrumented tweezers, experimenters can quantify crush forces during ONC to produce consistent and predictable post-crush cell death. This should permit future studies a way to produce nerve damage more consistently than is available now. PMID: 32100638 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
